You are possibly one of the thickest people I have ever debated with.
This is very simple, I will type s-l-o-w-l-y.
LMAO.
You finally realized the futility of demonstrating the contradiction between omniscience and omnipotence, eh? And now you're back for more?
You really have a penchant for humiliation.
According to you god made everything including free will and he knew how it would be used.
So far so good?
Yep. Good so far.
OK. good.
He did not have to make the world in a way that millions of people would live a wretched existence and die of disease, famine and war did he?Or go to hell as per the bible?
Yep. He made it so that one can reap the rewards (or pain) of one's own choice. Free will, remember?
No, he could have made it any way.
OK?
Sure he can. He could have made it in a way that you would suffer the consequences of my action. But he didn't. One could clearly see the wisdom of free will -- as it is, no?
But he m,ade it this way in the knowldeg of how it would turn out eschewing other alternatives where the horrors of life don't happn.
Yes, I know.
He could have made it in such a way that you have your free will and yet not suffer its adverse consequence.
And what do you suppose would happen to someone who was somehow shielded from the adverse consequences of his choices, eh?
He can neither know the pain of an evil deed nor the rewards of a good one -- which leads us to the true nature of morality.
A moral action is its own reward just as an evil action is its own punishment.
Capice?
So, it is all down to him.
What???
You have already assumed free will, have you not? What exactly have you said that somehow negated your own premise, eh?
I know that is noty too hard for you to understand.
Of course I understand what you are saying. What I am saying is that you are
WRONG.
It is just too hard for you to accept cos it makes your god a monster.
Let me get this straight.
Man was given the rational faculty to discern good and evil in his own action and in the action of others.
Man was given revelation, as if the rational faculty was not enough (at least in your case, it is not enough).
Man was given senses to experience pleasure within the boundaries of a moral good.
Man was given an immutable existence, and the free will to choose his own thought and action within that existence.
Man was given absolution for his sins unilaterally -- even sins that he has not committed but is in his nature to commit.
And to top it all off, man was given grace, if and when he is incapable of saving himself, even if that danger comes from himself.
And what exactly does man do with all these -- he uses it to bring misery to himself and his fellow man.
So, who exactly is the monster, eh?
